A Tribute to President Barack Hussein Obama
44th President of the United States of America

Against the Odds

Barack Obama restored respect for the Office of the President. Even though President Obama has had the LEAST supportive and LEAST productive Congress in history, while dealing with unprecedented racism, hate & obstruction (he faced the 1st opposition party that vowed not to support ANYTHING he proposed), and though he has endured the most disrepectful treatment of ANY U.S. President, particularly by Republican Congressmen; and even though he has inherited two wars, ---------, even trouble with pirates believe it or not, Barack Obama left office with the highest approval rating of any U.S. President in history. This is how WE do it!

Mamadou Tall Diedhiou is a Senegalese artist who uses recycled materials to create beautiful works of art; shaping once discarded or overlooked materials into colorful bird sculptures.

"My passion for birds comes from my village, Niomoune," he says. "It is a small, picturesque village populated by all kinds of migrating birds in all seasons. They make their nests, fly in and out, and all the time keep the village animated with their songs."
